Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Since joining the Reds on July 31 after being acquired from the Athletics, Andujar is slashing a sizzling .358/.414/.623 with three home runs in his first 17 games with his new team. He should continue to occupy a prominent spot in the heart of the lineup whenever he starts, but Andujar will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Reds use Austin Hays at designated hitter and Gavin Lux, TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte at the outfield spots.

Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The left-handed-hitting Del Castillo will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with two of his absences coming against lefties and two coming against righties. He had been serving as the Diamondbacks' primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching, but manager Torey Lovullo may prefer to use a committee of players at DH moving forward, as Del Castillo has struck out at a 34.8 percent clip since the beginning of August.

Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The switch-hitting Bell has mustered a lowly .138/.250/.276 slash line with a 23 percent strikeout rate in 100 plate appearances against southpaws this season, so his absence from the lineup with lefty Ranger Suarez on the hill for Philadelphia doesn't come as a major surprise. Andres Chaparro will replace Bell at first base and bat cleanup.

Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Marte had served as the Mets' designated hitter in each of the last three games, but he'll cede those duties to Pete Alonso in the series finale in Atlanta. Brandon Nimmo (neck) will remain on the bench for a fourth game in a row, but assuming that Nimmo doesn't require a stint on the injured list, Marte will likely be limited to a short-side platoon role heading into the upcoming week.

Manager Joe Espada said Sunday that Alvarez (hand) has a "strong possibility" of returning from the 60-day injured list when the Astros begin their homestand Tuesday versus the Rockies, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez is on track to make his fourth and likely final rehab appearance for Double-A Corpus Christi on Sunday. Through his first three games on the farm, he's made two starts at designated hitter and one in left field, going 5-for-11 with three doubles, three runs, one RBI, one stolen base and a 2:2 BB:K. Alvarez initially injured his right hand on a swing in late April, but he played through the injury before being placed on the IL on May 5.

Devers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Devers will get his first day off since being acquired by the Giants in mid-June, after he turned in a .227/.337/.412 slash line with 10 home runs in his first 58 games for San Francisco. Wilmer Flores will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while Dominic Smith starts at first base.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.

On a day when the Yankees suffered a blowout loss to their division rival, Stanton at least made sure his team didn't get shut out when he took Garrett Crochet deep in the fourth inning. It was the continuation of a lengthy power surge by the veteran slugger, who has gone deep four times in his past five games and 12 times in his last 25 contests. Stanton is up to 16 long balls on the campaign as he pushes to reach 20 home runs for the fifth straight season despite not getting into any games until mid-June due to elbow injuries.

Keith was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals due to an illness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Keith had been slated to start at third base and bat leadoff, but instead Zach McKinstry will get the nod at the hot corner while center fielder Wenceel Perez sets the table. Assuming the illness isn't anything too debilitating, Keith should return to the lineup Monday versus the Athletics. He'd gone 0-for-8 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last three starts, on the heels of a five-game hitting streak.

Diaz (hamstring) will start at first base and bat third Sunday against the Cardinals, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.

Diaz sustained a low-grade hamstring strain in the series opener versus St. Louis on Thursday and sat out Friday's 10-6 win, but he'll return to the lineup following Saturday's team off day. The first baseman has collected at least one hit in eight of his past 10 games and has five multi-hit efforts during that span.

Springer went 3-for-6 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Marlins.

The veteran outfielder took Tyler Phillips deep for a solo shot in the seventh inning, giving the Blue Jays a vital insurance run in what was at the time a 4-0 lead. Springer has hit safely in seven straight games since returning from a concussion, batting .345 (10-for-29) with a double, a steal, seven RBI, eight runs and four of his 22 homers on the year.
